Casey Garske in Erik Tenkar's ACKS game we ran into a major fight: ogre and 16 orcs.
2d8 HD of orc later (yes, he rolled a 16), the ogre went down in about a round. He hit me for 4, I hit him for 12. At that kind of exchange, it doesn't take long :)
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Goddamn sleep spell. Goddamn elf rolling 14 fucking hit dice of orcs and ogres to put to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI have recently come to hate sleep as a DM for precisely that reason.
ReplyDeleteIt saved them from losing at least two characters to a "Hold Person" spell. The swingyness of old school gaming is part of the charm.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, but it riles me when all of a sudden they've plowed through something I thought might take half an hour... :)

I dislike sleep for different reasons. It doesn't really scale well.
ReplyDeleteBernd Pressler Sleep doesn't scale at all. Extremely powerful at low levels and pretty obsolete by levels 4/5
ReplyDeleteyup. But then again, the choice is not that bad, as I have a feeling that 50% of the D&D-like adventures seem to happen on levels 1-6. XD
ReplyDeleteAn ettin just knocked in the door on floor below, so they can have this one.
